The Red Shadow (TMNT)

Unwanted Guests

"Hey, check it out," said a lanky man dressed in dragon tattoos. "Fresh meat." He grinned.

He was looking down at Addy's apartment with binoculars three blocks away.

"Aww, looks like her little friend ran off for the night, guess we should go keep her company," he cackled; looking at his four other buddies.

"She might have some nice TV's or a laptop we could borrow," said the leader. They all laughed.

"Let's move!" He said.

The men hurried down the ladder and started to make their way towards her apartment. The leader told the other four to stay back while he unlocked her window. These thugs could pick any type of lock, they had been getting training from another gang...The Foot.

He snuck into her window quietly and made his way downstairs. He saw Addy relaxing on her couch half-asleep and took the shot to grab her up and silence her while his buddies had a look around.

Addy screamed when she felt his musky hand coil around her lips and the smell of the cloth immediately took her breath away.

"WHY ME!?" "Why is it alw..." She thought as she drifted off.

(Raph's POV)

I ran off into the darkness. I didn't wanna leave her, she needed me. But I couldn't lead her on so quickly.

All of a sudden, Raph stopped dead in his tracks and a horrified look ran across his face. If he were human, his face would have become ghost white.

"Addy..." He whispered.

He turned as sharply as he could and raced back to her apartment now full of anger. He knew something was wrong; he could feel it in the earth.

He reached her apartment and started banging on her door. She didn't come to the door so he knew something was wrong.

"No, no, no." He spoke out-loud.

He raced up the side ladder and saw her window had been opened.

His heart sank, and he punched the wall. "Dammit Raph!!!" "How could you let this happen!?! throwing his helmet to the ground. "You protect the whole city and can't look after your one stronghold!!"

He crawled through the window and ran down the stairs yelling her name.

He saw five creeps scrounging around for anything they could steal and sell and they all looked up at Raph with shock.

They were surprised at first, but quickly changed their tune.

"Ha," said the leader. "One lousy freak in a Halloween costume." "Take care of him boys."

Raph became enraged and ripped his sai's from his side holsters.

"Oh you boys just wrote your death certificate," Raph growled deeply with rage. He had both sai's nestled between his fingers and posed for destruction.

The first thief ran at him stupidly and was thrown over Raph's shoulder.

"Ha, you guys are too easy." He said with a smirk; his Brooklyn accent coming out perfectly.

The second, third, and fourth were quickly defeated. They helped each other up and ran up the stairs with some of Addy's belongings and crawled out of the window; they had had enough. The leader then decided that it was his turn.

"You fight well creature," he said puffing on a cigarette.

Raph didn't wanna hear any small talk; he just wanted this creeps face to be smashed against a wall; or worse. He growled and charged at the man.
